This collection of room impulse responses was measured in the Great Hall, the Octagon, and a classroom at the Mile End campus of Queen Mary, University of London in 2008. The measurements were created using the sine sweep technique with a Genelec 8250A loudspeaker and two microphones, an omnidirectional DPA 4006 and a B-format Soundfield SPS422B.

guy from Brekke-Strand & and his personal site with some pretty god resources: "This site is dedicated to topics in room acoustics, music acoustics, speech acoustics, perception and their interrelation in general, and concert hall acoustics and stage acoustics in particular."
3M's E-A-RCAL Acoustical Laboratory, established in 1979, has offered contract testing since 1992. The principal service offered is the measurement of the real-ear attenuation at threshold (REAT) of hearing protection devices (HPDs). Additional services include objective hearing protector and earphone measurements utilizing either KEMAR or the ANSI S12.42-2010 or ISO/TR 4869-3 acoustical test fixtures, or miniature microphones and/or probe microphones placed in real ears.
the 3D3A lab is conducting detailed measurements of the directivity of various loudspeakers measured in the lab's anechoic chamber. At present the database contains the measured directivity data for six loudspeakers: 1. Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 2. GedLee Nathan 3. Genelec 8030a 4. Manger Sidekick 5. Spendor SA1 6. Tannoy Definition DC6i (Concentric)
At Smart Geoemtry 2011, the Responsive Acoustic Surfaces group began an investigation into the sound scattering properties of doubly ruled surfaces. Annotated link http://www.diigo.com/bookmark/http://smartgeometry.org/index.php?option=com_community
This site has been created by members of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) Working Group S3-79, which is in charge of reviewing American National Standard ANSI S3.5-1997 (“Methods for Calculation of the Speech Intelligibility Index”). This standard defines a method for computing a physical measure that is highly correlated with the intelligibility of speech as evaluated by speech perception tests given a group of talkers and listeners. This measure is called the Speech Intelligibility Index, or SII. The SII is calculated from acoustical measurements of speech and noise. The site provides software for calculating the Speech Intelligibility Index (SII), as well as notes relevant to potential future changes of the standard and the listing of known errors to be corrected in the next version of the standard. You are encouraged to contact us with any information that may help make the Standard better and easier to use. Also, if you have other software that can facilitate SII calculations, we urge you to send it to us for a review and posting on this site.
